Colorado Springs Astronomical Society

The Perseid meteor shower is peaking tonight over southern Colorado as the Earth passes through debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle. Due to local factors like light pollution and constellation altitude, stargazers are advised that the best viewing time is in the early morning hours, specifically between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. While special equipment helps capture images, simply bringing warm clothes and seating can enhance the experience.
